There are four bundles: one for FIFA 10, one for Uncharted 2, one for Ratchet & Clank Future and one for Need For Speed: Shift. They're tentatively priced at 4499 Krona, which works out at around AU$750. As for the release date, they might be out October 2, they might be a little later, as retail system's aren't 100% reliable for that kind of thing.

Now, the games shown on this system differ from those rumoured earlier in the month. No big deal: there are always different deals going on across Europe, so these four games may well be offered in a bundle elsewhere, and the Assassin's Creed II and GT5 packs may well turn up in Scandinavia.

But they WON'T be $750.

How much is the slim?? $499?? Then this will retail i believe for around $599. Or $649 to be upset like they did with the PSPgo. Wouldn't cost Sony that much extra for the extra gigs. So an extra $100 is a hefty profit, if they make a profit from each system sold.

Sony/MS don't want to have the lower end of the stick when it comes to storage. Match the size then its even.

Perhaps it comes down to manufacturing and price. MS/Sony don't MAKE the HDD themselves. They probably also look into how much content the average gamer downloads/needs. 250 is also more than double 120GB. It's not exactly double its not less than double, its a little more.

During a recent Samsung event, Twitch megastar Tyler “Ninja” Blevins said he purposely avoids streaming with “female gamers.” The site’s number-one streamer said that he believes if he invited women on his channel, the gossip mill would immediately begin cranking out videos suggesting that Ninja is in romantic relationships with them.
On the one hand, he’s probably right about that. On the other hand, when you’re the most popular streamer on earth, everything you do has consequences.

I still remember when it was an accepted argument that gaming was an antisocial activity. "Go outside nerds," was the common style of refrain you'd hear on a school playground. It's the kind of argument that still gets trotted out today from people who have little experience of gaming, and even less appreciation for the complexity of games.
